I guess this should not be a surprise...given the space-time continuum. However, for some reason it is harder to contemplate time entanglement than space entanglement.
In space entanglement, I can measure either entangled particle, and the other will be the same.
In time entanglement it makes sense that I can measure a particle in the past, and its future partner will have the same value...but this also implies that if I measure the future of a particle, I force its past into the same state. Is there a way to change the past hidden in here?
Those of us raised in Democratic societies take it for granted that those societies provide better well-being (for common individuals) than other forms of governance. At the heart of democracy is personal freedom and autonomy, backed by the rule of law. We also take for granted the interplay of decentralized versus centralized authority. Decentralization can mean many things, but here we refer to it in terms of power, authority, and decision making. The more authority individuals have, the more decentralized the power system in which they are operating. Almost by definition the more democratic a system, the more decentralized it is, with the caveat that some agreed upon axioms exist, such as the rule of law and its enforcement. Of course, authority can be too decentralized leading to "every man for themselves", so we put limits on decentralization through that same rule of law. With the advent of decentralizing technologies , which make possible more decentraliz...
